This is an ongoing discussion about 17th Century naval wargaming (really, 1620-1720). Part of what is offered are scenarios for games: orders-of-battle, ship lists, battle descriptions, and scenarios for Age of Sail II-Privateers Bounty (a sailing warfare computer simulation/game), suitable scaled for that environment.

Dutch Naval Officer: Jan Corneliszoon Poot
Jan Corneliszoon Poot served the Admiralty of Zeeland as a commandeur. He fought in the First Schooneveld Battle, where he was in Cornelis Tromp's squadron. He had been with the fleet on 23 May, prior to the battle. He was still with the fleet on 12 June, so he probably fought in the Second Schooneveld Battle, as well. In August, he fought in the Battle of the Texel, where he commanded the adviesjacht Bruinvis (Bruijnvisch) (6 guns). He was assigned to Jan de Haan's division in Cornelis Tromp's squadron. Sources:
I am pleased to see your post and the references. I have been researching family history about Poots in the Netherlands and America. I don't know if J C Poot is a relative yet, but this information was a pleasant discovery. Bill Allison
